It must come as a great relief to Dear Leader that the Israelis have the fortitude to back up his empty threats. A lesser man would be embarrassed that an ally that he has treated so badly would step up to mitigate his cowardly refusal to stand by his own words.

My local paper, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune a Commie paper, had a blurb this past week that The Messiah has put some of our troops into Mali. I think he has also stationed US troops in Somalia. It’s gonna get Fugly!

The Syrian state news agency SANA, citing initial reports, said early Sunday that Israeli missiles struck a military research center near the capital Damascus. Syrian state television has reported that a major strike on an ammunition depot in Qassiyoun mountains shook Damascus, while Hezbollah's Al-Manar station claimed the explosion may have been a downed Israeli jet.

.......”the latest volley of attacks on the Syrian regime, President Bashar al-Assad will soon officially declare war on Israel,........ with various commentators claiming that such a move would be sure to end Assad’s reign of terror in Syria “within a week”.......

.....”Thanks Obama.....(eye roll)...(shudder).you have set the whole Middle East on fire”.......

They were blowing each up and fighting for years over there...with or without ammunitions and such given them....I just as soon they keep on doing so to other.

The armament will flow there regardless who sends it...and so won’t war...However I sometime wonder if this is equipping them all when the great war one day does come....you know when they turn and destroy each other?

Author Larry Niven created a herd mentality herbivore race called the Puppeteers. They were pathologically passive; except when they needed to defend themselves. They generally defended by hiding or running away. (Sound familiar? The Puppeteers comes to mind when they tell kids to hide from killers by ducking under a desk.) The most important leader was The Hindmost.” He leads from behind. That’s because the front of the herd encounters predators. It’s safe behind the herd.

Declaring war on Israel may be the one thing that Assad and his enemies can agree on. It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a ceasefire called in the Syrian civil war for the express purpose of joint retaliation against their ‘Zionist enemy’.

Yes, Egypt.... somewhere ...I think months ago I discussed the role of Egypt should we see war between Syria, Damascus destroyed and just who exactly are the gentiles referred to in ...Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”

Syria: Egypt, Arab League Condemn Israeli Attacks
May 5, 2013 | 1356 GMT
Egypt has condemned Israeli strikes in Syria, saying that the strikes violate international law and will only further complicate matters, The Daily Star reported May 5. The Arab League has also called on the U.N. Security Council to step in and end the attacks against Syria, saying that such attacks violate an Arab state’s national sovereignty. Israel launched strikes in Syria on May 3 and May 5, targeting what Israeli officials say were weapons being sent to Hezbollah militants

(Moderates should play in the middle of a busy street)

in this situation he’ll go to bed just like he heard about Americans dying in Libya.

Sir, the embassy is being attacked, the Ambassador is being attacked and we have Americans on a building waiting for help , shall we move in and t=get them out and help them?”

“Er how do you know this dod we have a drone over head?”

“Yes Sir”

“OK er have a briefing I have to go to bed and let me know the outcome in the morning before I take the trip out to Vegas, I;ve seen the numbers and even with all the fraud in the Dem controlled counties in those swing states, it’s still close “

“er yes Sir, er good night er sir”

I am so pissed off every time I run that in my head and think of those guys on a building under fire, using the laser to direct help and them talking to each other saying we have to just wait this out ‘well have help soon I’m sure.

AND NO HELP CAME and we have a massive cover up bu this media minus FOX and a handful of others and the most corrupt media and most corrupt secret administration in the modern times, hell Nixon wasn;t this bad .

Where are all the Assad supporters to tell us how Israel is helping al-Qaeda?

It would be in Israel's interest to see Syria reduced to a rump state made up of weak, squabbling factions. Much like what happened to Libya and Iraq. This, in fact, was the strategy outlined in a report written by Netanyahu, A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm.

Is Israel directly arming and financing Al Qaeda foreign mercenaries to kill Christians and overthrow the current Syrian government? They don't have to since the American taxpayers are already doing it.

[snip] While the government tried to use the airstrikes to taint the rebels by linking them to Israel, Syria’s arch rival, the attacks still pose a dilemma for an Assad regime already battling a relentless rebellion at home. If it fails to respond, it looks weak and opens the door to such airstrikes becoming a common occurrence. But any military retaliation against Israel would risk dragging the Jewish state and its powerful army into a broader conflict. [/snip]
